Chapter Twenty-Three: The Heart (Whole)
Today is the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, and it is very close to the New Year, but the shouting in the back garden of Xingfeng Manor is still shocking.
In the back garden surrounded by eight formations, the grass in the center of the back garden that was originally full of flowers has become a square for practicing martial arts at this time, nearly three hundred people are practicing diligently here, in order to implement Zhang Xingfeng's plan, the 'Dragon Teng Jade Shop' has been closed since yesterday, only the main store in the capital is still open, and almost all the Xingfeng Guards have returned to Xingfeng Manor.
Zhang Xingfeng, who was standing on the high platform, looked at Xingfengwei who was training hard below and was very satisfied, looking at the sun in the sky, it was estimated that it was time to feel it.
Zhang Xingfeng said loudly to the Xingfeng Wei who was cultivating below: "Everyone!"
The Xingfeng Wei below saw that his master was actually standing in front of them, and immediately stood up and prepared to listen to the master's lecture. They all know that their master's martial arts are invincible in the world, and everything they have is given by the master!
Zhang Xingfeng looked at their focused appearance, very satisfied, and said with a smile:
"Today, I have a big event to announce! Whoever has reached the three-rank realm is a disciple of my Tianxin Sect, and I will pass on his supreme exercises, and those who have not reached the three-rank realm are only peripheral disciples, hoping to cultivate hard if they have not reached the three-rank realm.
Now there are three second-grade ones in Xingfeng Weizhong, one of which was just reached a few days ago, which is very good, and there are ten third-grade realms. Now, these thirteen Star Peak Guards are the first batch of disciples of my Tianxin Sect, and my six disciples are the same generation. Of course, as a peripheral disciple of my Tianxin Sect, I will also pass on your exercises. From now on, I will pass on your Seven Star Beidou Sword Formation, and I will also accept the most powerful group of seven people as the first batch of disciples!"
Most of the Xingfeng Guards below were very disappointed at first, but they didn't expect that there would be a chance, not only to learn the sword formation, but also to become the first batch of disciples, of course everyone is very satisfied with such a good thing. Do they know that Zhang Xingfeng's previous apprentices are powerful, and any of them have reached the second-grade realm. Of course, Zhang Xingfeng's disciple has to fight for this seat!
Of course, Zhang Xingfeng taught the Seven Star Beidou Sword Formation to Li Da, Li Er, and Wolf Feng, as well as Zhang Yu, who often managed Xingfeng Guard, at the beginning. It's much faster to let them teach it!
Zhang Xingfeng moved a chair and sat down, just watching them learn the sword formation, seeing Zhang Yu, Zhang Xingfeng was really satisfied! At the beginning, when he accepted apprentices, Zhang Yu's qualifications were the worst of the three disciples, but now Li Da and Li Ercai are in the second-grade realm, and Zhang Yu has reached the first-grade realm, even Zhang Xingfeng can't understand why he can cultivate so fast with Zhang Yu's qualifications, and his other three apprentices, the three brothers of the Chi family, are not easy to say, since they graduated from the National Martial Arts Academy, they have left here, but they only send people to visit the New Year every year, and the only time they come, Zhang Xingfeng is closed.
"Alas......" Zhang Xingfeng sighed, not knowing when he would be able to meet Chiyou and the three brothers.
"What a sigh, how old are you, nephew!"
Zhang Xingfeng knew that it was his Uncle Zhang as soon as he heard it, so he smiled and didn't speak.
Uncle Zhang walked to Zhang Xingfeng's side and sat down with a chair, and said to Zhang Xingfeng: "Virtuous nephew, you passed on my 'Heart Codex' yesterday, I feel that my true yuan power has increased rapidly, and there is no danger mentioned above, what the hell is going on!"
After coming back yesterday, Zhang Xingfeng knew that Uncle Zhang had broken through the first-grade realm, so he passed the 'Heart Classic' to him, anyway, Zhang Xingfeng couldn't practice it himself.
Zhang Xingfeng looked at Uncle Zhang, and then looked at Xingfeng Wei, who was studying hard below, and said with a faint smile: "Uncle Zhang, you don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, you have already understood nature, and the cultivation of your heart is already very high, far higher than your true yuan power, of course there is no danger, you just give me the absorption and cultivation, you don't have to worry about the rest, when you reach the out-of-body period, your state of mind cultivation will have to continue to deepen!"
Uncle Zhang listened and smiled, but he didn't take it to heart, just smiled faintly, and looked at Xingfeng Wei below with Zhang Xingfeng.
It was already late, it was time to eat, Zhang Xingfeng looked at Xingfeng Wei who was closing the team below and smiled, and walked outside, Uncle Zhang, who had been with Zhang Xingfeng all afternoon, immediately walked outside with Zhang Xingfeng.
Zhang Xingfeng suddenly said to Uncle Zhang on the side: "Uncle Zhang, I found that these Xingfeng Guards you are looking for are very good, and each of them is a martial arts genius!
Uncle Zhang looked at Zhang Xingfeng, who was puzzled, and smiled proudly: "We don't have many others in Daming, that is, there are many people, and many martial arts wizards are among them, but some big sects charge money for an apprentice, and ordinary people can't pay at all, and we even want those beggars, of course, we can choose very well, the most important thing is that the number of people we collect every year is very small, except for a hundred people at the beginning, and about ten people every year after that, on average, there is one' Longteng Jade Shop's year to find a martial arts genius, this is of course very simple, every time there are a lot of excellent talents, just because the number of places is too small and did not become Xingfengwei, and last year you asked me to accept a hundred, I was directly selected among those people of a hundred people, they are not bad at all. Coupled with your virtuous nephew, your Tai Chi Yin and Yang Technique, everyone's skills are growing fast, isn't this normal?"
When Zhang Xingfeng heard this, it seemed that it really made sense! If these Xingfeng Guards were in the cultivation realm, they would probably have been snatched away by those cultivation sects a long time ago! Zhang Xingfeng thought to himself.
"No matter what, Uncle Zhang, you have a lot of merit, you say that whatever you want, I will try my best to meet you!" Zhang Xingfeng was really satisfied when he saw Xingfengwei, and he was happy for a while to say such bold words to Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang looked at Zhang Xingfeng, who was looking at him and smiling, and said with a faint smile: "I don't have any requirements!"
Zhang Xingfeng was stunned, but immediately said: "Uncle Zhang, don't miss this opportunity, if you give up, you can't say it if you ask me!"
Uncle Zhang smiled indifferently, walked to the front and stood still, and said after a long time: "Virtuous nephew, what do you say people live in the world for?"
Zhang Xingfeng was stunned, he didn't expect Uncle Zhang to ask such a question with no standard answer so abruptly, but after hearing it, Zhang Xingfeng's heart was still shocked: Yes, what is the purpose of this life, some people are for money, some people are for power, some people are for love, and some people are for the pursuit of Taoism!
Is it for power, but I want to prove myself to my parents!
Is it for the pursuit of life, the pursuit of cultivation? I don't know!
Are you for love? maybe!
Zhang Xingfeng only had a faint blankness in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was living for. The childhood quest has now been realized, but now?
Uncle Zhang didn't turn around, just looked at the mysterious and impenetrable formation in front of him, and said lightly: "I used to be young and frivolous, I used to spend the moon before the moon, I used to swear an alliance with my lover, and I used to be proud of the world in my own industry! But it is because of my arrogance that my wife died! It is my arrogance that my son and I were chased and killed by others like lost dogs, and if there was no virtuous nephew, my life would be only pain." Now that I have a successful son, a stronger skill, and even the legendary art of cultivating immortals, what more could I ask for? What I want to do now is to see what kind of realm jade carving can reach!
Zhang Xingfeng didn't feel anything, he only knew that he didn't know what he should pursue?
Zhang Xingfeng walked indifferently and walked through the eight formations in a daze, he didn't use any skill to pass through the eight formations!
The days passed, the Spring Festival has arrived, everyone is still as happy as before, Xingfengwei is still so hardworking, they are fighting for the last seven places!
Everyone has noticed that although Zhang Xingfeng is happy with everyone these days, everyone can feel that Zhang Xingfeng seems to be missing something?
Spring goes to autumn, and autumn brings people bitterness!
With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Xingfeng raised his head and looked at the falling yellow leaves.
"Autumn is coming. Zhang Xingfeng muttered to himself lightly.
Heavy footsteps sounded behind Zhang Xingfeng, very heavy, and Zhang Xingfeng's mood also became bad when he heard it, Zhang Xingfeng felt that something big had happened, and his heart was very unsettled.
Zhang Xingfeng turned around slowly, Brother Wang, who had a gloomy face, looked at Zhang Xingfeng from behind, there was nothing else in Brother Wang's eyes, only heaviness!
Zhang Xingfeng didn't ask, he was waiting for Brother Wang's words and waited quietly.
Brother Wang spoke, and after a long time, he spoke, and his dry voice resounded through every inch of space around him: "Yu Wenrou, she's dead!"
Zhang Xingfeng didn't feel the slightest feeling for a moment, he didn't have heartache, but he inexplicably felt that the heaven and earth had turned into black and white, without the slightest color, and there was no sound between heaven and earth, and he couldn't even hear the voice of Brother Wang talking anxiously to himself on the side. He doesn't know what's going on!
Suddenly, a mountain of pain struck him, and it overwhelmed him in an instant, and he finally understood: his goddess, the girl he liked when he was young, the girl he fought for and the Li family, his softness - dead!
He knew, at this time he finally knew, he loved Rou, his love was so strong, there was no moment when Zhang Xingfeng was as sure as he was now, he loved Yu Wenrou so deeply, and that love had reached the depths of his soul.
He didn't have any consciousness, just for a moment he followed that inexplicable feeling, and disappeared in front of Brother Wang in an instant! Yes, it was gone, not fast, it was completely gone!
Brother Wang didn't know what happened to Zhang Xingfeng, but he knew that everyone in Xingfeng Manor was following Zhang Xingfeng.
"Brother Wang, everything is ready, the three hundred Star Peak Guards are completely ready, and they can fight at any time!" Wolf Feng stood in front of Brother Wang, but his hand kept touching the narrow knife made of secret heaven stone that Zhang Xingfeng had built for him. The scene that came to mind when Zhang Xingfeng met him for the first time, a little boy completely defeated him with that huge momentum, and the little boy had a faint and calm smile from beginning to end, and that little boy was Zhang Xingfeng.
Wolf Feng whispered to himself: "No matter what lies ahead, I will follow you, kill the Buddha when you meet the Buddha, and devour the gods when you meet the gods!" A determined light flashed in his eyes.
The faint knife in Uncle Zhang's hand flashed away, only the people of Xingfeng Manor knew that it was his knife, his carving knife, the knife that had been cultivated by his Danhuo, no one knew that Uncle Zhang's carving knife could kill people in addition to carving, but Uncle Zhang recalled in his heart that time Zhang Xingfeng's eyes in the Maozhu House......
Li Da Li Er, Zhang Yu, Sister Wang Geyu, and Wolf Feng and his mother were all touching the weapons made of secret stones by Zhang Xingfeng for them, and they were all immersed in memories.
In an instant, everyone looked at each other and smiled, they were always ready, when they knew about Yu Wenrou's death, they had such an awareness, Zhang Xingfeng could not let go of the Li family who didn't take care of Yu Wenrou, the consequence was a full-scale war with the Li family, although they could already imagine the ending, but they didn't have the slightest guts.
The Zhang family in Hangzhou knew about this matter faster than Xingfeng Manor, Zhang Tiande listened to the news of Tianyu Tower, Zhang Tiande's face changed in an instant, he was Zhang Xingfeng's father, he knew Zhang Xingfeng's heart very well, looked at the elixir in his hand, and said resolutely in his heart: Little San, my father once disappointed you, this time I won't!
"Execute the 'Subversion 1' plan!" Zhang Tiande resolutely ordered, and he could hear Mr. Zhang on the side. He knows what Disruptive 1 stands for.
"Master!" Mr. Zhang had obeyed orders all his life, but now he wanted his master to think more.
Zhang Tiande raised his hand, "Don't say it, I've already decided, hurry up and execute, and I will bear all the consequences!"
"Yes!" Mr. Zhang turned around and disappeared.
Zhang Tiande looked at the few elixirs in his hand, and then looked at the blue sky through the window, his eyes were firm and profound.
At this time, the Li family was silent, because Yu Wenrou, who had just married to the Li family for less than a year, died.
After Yu Wenrou arrived at Li's house, she vomited blood before she had a cave room with Li Tianxiang, and since that day, Yu Wenrou's body has deteriorated, and even Li Shimin and they have not had the slightest method, and they have used many methods, but they have not had the slightest effect. Finally last night, Yu Wenrou died!
Li Tianxiang knelt in front of Yu Wenrou's coffin, motionless, his heart was broken.
He had been living in anxiety and pain since the wedding, and it was even more uncomfortable for him to look at his beloved woman like this every day, but he had no way to do it, he stayed by his goddess's side every night, not leaving an inch.
That night, that night, he heard the call of Yu Wenrou in his dream, although Yu Wenrou's voice was very low, but he heard very clearly: "Brother Feng!" These two words, he knew at that moment, he finally knew that what Zhang Xingfeng said in Yuwen's house that day was true, Yu Wenrou and Zhang Xingfeng were truly in love.
He was very angry, he didn't understand why he had been with Yu Wenrou for more than ten years, but Zhang Xingfeng hadn't seen her for ten years, and Yu Wenrou loved Zhang Xingfeng instead of him, how could he be worse than Zhang Xingfeng, he admitted that Zhang Xingfeng's kung fu was high, but he had also reached the first-grade realm, and there were a few people like him who reached the first-grade realm at a young age!
He Li Tianxiang is not a dragon among people, why, why can't Yu Wenrou love him, he was drunk that night, drunk at Yu Wenrou's bedside.
After waking up, he didn't blame Yu Wenrou, he worried about Yu Wenrou and worked hard for her, but Yu Wenrou didn't know all this.
Li Tianxiang knelt quietly, and he quietly remembered the scene when he played with Yu Wenrou when he was a child...... The corners of Li Tianxiang's mouth showed a faint happiness. Suddenly, his motionless body trembled.
Li Tianxiang stood up quietly, and he turned to look out of the gate.
A voice sounded quietly in the heavens and the earth, "Rou! I love you! I really love you, I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I shouldn't let you marry the Li family, I shouldn't! Rou, do you remember, the first time we met outside the gate of the National Martial Arts Academy......
All the masters of the Li family attacked the man who suddenly appeared in the Li family in front of him, but this man didn't fight back at all, just kept talking like a fool. All the masters of the Li family were horrified to find that their swords could only tear the other party's clothes, but the other party's hair could not be hurt!
"It's snowing!" shouted one of the Li family's subordinates. Today is October, and it has never snowed in October, and the person who went down only shouted, in addition to this reason, there is another reason, that is, this snow is big and fast. Li Tianxiang couldn't help but look up.
Every inch of space between heaven and earth was covered with goose feather-like snow, and the snow fell so fast and so big that it was unheard of, making it difficult for those innate masters of the Li family to continue to maintain a powerful attack under the heavy snow.
And the man who suddenly appeared did not react to the heavy snow in the slightest, and was still infatuated with narration.
"That night, by the osmanthus bridge, you said you wanted to be with me, I said I wanted to marry you, I proposed to you, but I didn't insist, I'm really sorry! I didn't see you for the last time. If I insist, that, that......"
Li Tianxiang disappeared in the mourning hall in an instant, and when he arrived outside the door, the speed was terrifying!
"Zhang Xingfeng, what are you going to do, don't go crazy here!"
Suddenly, Li Tianxiang was horrified to find that Zhang Xingfeng's hair was completely white, and at first he thought it was covered with snow, but now at such a distance, Li Tianxiang can clearly see Zhang Xingfeng's snow-white hair, which is as white as snow in the sky.
Li Tianxiang was scared for a moment, he was scared when he saw the snow-white hair, and the fear from the bottom of his heart made him unable to exert the slightest skill in the first-grade realm.
Zhang Xingfeng stopped talking, raised his head and looked at the hall in the distance, the big word "Dian" made his heart hurt even more. He didn't notice Li Tianxiang's existence in the slightest, and in his eyes, he only had Yu Wenrou.
He walked to the hall step by step, slowly walked past Li Tianxiang, walked into the hall, and walked to the coffin, the cold jade coffin made Yu Wenrou look as beautiful as before she was alive, as if she was just asleep.
Zhang Xingfeng climbed on the ice coffin, looking at the beautiful goddess in the ice coffin stupidly, and carefully felt the faint satisfaction in the center.
Li Tianxiang didn't even move, and when Zhang Xingfeng walked past him, he didn't even move! For a moment, he felt ashamed! He felt that he was not worthy of Yu Wenrou. Li Tianxiang half-knelt on the snow in pain, letting the snow fall as hard as it came. Suddenly, there was a tap on his shoulder.
Li Tianxiang raised his head, he clearly saw that his ancestor and a large group of Li family masters behind him were looking at him with concern, and he cried in an instant, and the red whisk girl took Li Tianxiang into her arms and made Li Tianxiang cry well.
Li Shimin, Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the hall together, but at this time, Zhang Xingfeng looked at his goddess carefully with all his heart, and did not notice the arrival of Li Shimin and the three of them.
